Seeking History's Individual Cities: Vilnius and Krakow (Lithuania and Poland) From Moscow to Istanbul in bars and museums the whole way through, I trekked the paths of history on a $20 pair of shoes. In the span of 36 days I visited 10 different countries questing with a sensational hunger for places of historical note so that I might understand and experience all that could be learned in sites both well-traveled and near forgotten. Blisters and hangovers and even angry Greek communists couldn’t stop me, and I’d love to share with you my fascinating experiences and thoughts on the fall of the three empires I saw.

Every night during my journey I would write a journal of my experiences and publish them online. Family and friends read along and became drawn in to the presence of the scenes and wonders. Utilizing this method, I have assembled my journals for your enjoyment to experience along with me as if we were sitting down and sharing my tale the day it happened. Come along! Together we shall seek history and all its life-affirming tales.

In this volume two, we explore the the first Soviet Republic to declare its independence from the Soviet Union and the nation most horribly oppressed by nazism and communism. From a KGB killing house to the gas chambers at Auschwitch, this enlightening exploration of tragedy reveals the deepest evils and triumphs man has ever known.

Polska Dotty: Carp in the Bathtub, Throttled Buglers, and other Tales of an Englishman in Poland REVIEWS

"An utterly charming story of the ups and downs of an Englishman who tries to assimilate into a completely different world, as he begins married life with a Polish girl" - Cooltura, Polish weekly

"A colorful introduction to Poland for readers who know little of the country... details the pleasures and frustrations that lie in wait for a visiting foreigner" - Warsaw Voice

"Full of the kind of anecdotes that anyone who has moved to Poland from the UK will recognise instantly... also worth taking a look at if you’re new to life in Poland" - Krakow Post

"A sympathetic insight into Polish society... Jonathan Lipman has produced a charming and informative book" - Hubert Zawadzki, co-author, A Concise History of Poland

ABOUT THE BOOK

Are you travelling to Poland - perhaps for Euro 2012 - and wish to know more about the Poles you’ll encounter?

Have you ever wondered what makes your Polish plumber or cleaner or waitress tick?

Are you fascinated by this country of forty million, rich in natural beauty, cultured, and famous for its people’s wanderlust?

What book do you pick for background and insight? A superficial travel guide? A dry history book?

No! You need the genre-busting Polska Dotty. Follow the hilarious exploits of a newly-wed English lad and Polish girl as they settle in Poland and encounter corrupt Polish police, counterfeit software sellers, and scammy private doctors - as well as more salubrious characters: a doting landlord, a romantic language teacher, and work colleagues intent on educating the author on everything from Polish grammar... to sanitation at the Warsaw courts.

Polska Dotty informs about every aspect of Polish society including its work ethic, family values, and the Polish character itself.

This is a funny, heartfelt, sparkling read, a touching portrayal of an Englishman’s integration into Polish life.

Kraków, Poland Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012
Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Kraków, Poland.

The city of Kraków covers both banks of the Wisla (or Vistula) river. It is Poland's second largest city, with a population of 756,000 (1.4 million including surrounding communities).

Kraków consists of 18 districts. The historic Old City is situated in District I Stare Miasto. Even though the words Stare Miasto mean 'old town', it should not be confused with the historic old town of Krakow itself, as the medieval old town is only a small central part of District I Stare Miasto.

Some of the communities around the edge of Kraków show the authentic Polish life away from the tourist-focused economy of the centre.

We Have Here the Homicide: A Travel Writer's Strange Affair With Poland “These aren’t words you really want to hear while you’re travelling overseas. Nor do you want to glance over the shoulder of the dour plainclothes detective who’s just spoken them, to see a pile of bloody surgical gloves and the body of your dead landlord in the living room. Your absolutely stark naked dead landlord.”

Since 1994, when Tim Richards arrived in Poland as an English language teacher, his life has become strangely entwined with the Central European nation.

As a freelance travel writer and Lonely Planet author, he has returned frequently to Poland in recent years.

This collection of his published newspaper and magazine articles relates tales of a murdered landlord, revolutionary gnomes, a cross-cultural pie lady, tongue-in-cheek communist nostalgia, the shadow of Nazi occupation, frolics by the Baltic seaside, and a tense encounter with an ex-con on a mountain bus.

In We Have Here the Homicide, Tim Richards shares his love of a country that is at once intriguing, challenging, engaging and completely fascinating.

Gdansk, Poland Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012 Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to the beautiful port/city of Gdańsk, Poland.

Gdańsk (also known by its German name Danzig) along with nearby Sopot and Gdynia are often referred to as the Tricity area with Gdańsk being considered the most beautiful city on the Baltic Sea, having a rich and magnificent architecture.

Its position on the Baltic has historically made Gdańsk one of the most important port cities in Northern Europe, and tragically also the scene of a rather disturbing past.

World War II was ignited by a dispute over the control of the city. By the end of the war the city lay almost completely in ruins. Although most of the old buildings were damaged or destroyed in WWII, they have been painstakingly restored or rebuilt.

In modern history, Gdańsk is known as the birthplace of Solidarity, the labor and democracy movement that helped to bring down the Communist government in Poland, and subsequently marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War. The movement was led by the charismatic leader, Lech Wałęsa, who became Poland's first post-Communist president.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Gdańsk is famous for its shipyards, as it is a beautiful city with a charm of its own.

A Traveller's History of Poland (Traveller's History Series) Poland is a major European country with over 38 million inhabitants and a land area comparable to Spain. It has played a major role in European history but its subjugation by foreign powers in the nineteenth century and during the Cold War eclipsed Poland in the minds of many in Western Europe and the United States. Throughout its long and diverse history it has been a meeting place of many cultures and has given the world the poetry of Czeslaw Milosz, the music of Chopin, and the scientific discoveries of Copernicus and Marie Curie, to name but a few.

In A Traveller's History of Poland, John Radzilowski vividly describes the beginnings of the country, first fragmented then reborn to overcome the aggression of the Teutonic Knights and its greedy neighbors. Poland enjoyed a Golden Age in the fifteen and sixteenth centuries but a gradual decline then led to Poland losing its autonomy despite winning many battles with its army's legendary military skill and gallantry. Yet the spirit of the country and its people lived on. Since the horrors of the Second World War and Soviet control, Poland has gradually regained its rightful place in Europe, joining NATO in 1999 and in May 2004, the EU. It is playing a new role on the European and international stage. This makes now an ideal time to introduce students and travellers to Poland and its complex history through the pages of this Traveller's History.

The book includes a full chronology, a list of monarchs and rulers, a gazetteer, historical maps and is fully illustrated.

Pilgrimages of Europe: Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Poland & Scherpenheuvel, Belgium This DVD features two half-hour documentaries and ten previews.

KALWARIA ZEBRZYDOWSKA, Poland
In the 17th century, Jerusalem fell into the hands of the Turks. The European aristocracy could no longer journey on pilgrimages to the Holy Land. They were forced to find an alternative. The Polish nobleman Zebrzydowski decided to have a replica of Calgary built on his estate. In the southern hills of Poland eight chapels appeared with a church and a monastery at the center. It was the work of a lifetime, enlarged and improved by his son and later, by his grandson. The holy site was entrusted to the care of the Bernardine order. Today, throughout the year, pilgrims flock to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and of course Poland itself. They walk the ancient Way of the Cross, stepping into the many chapels along the way to sing and pray.

SCHERPENHEUVEL, Belgium
The history of Scherpenheuvel, the Belgium place of pilgrimage, begins with an age-old legend. Around the year 1500 a shepherd found a statuette of Mary in an old oak tree on the Scherpe Heuvel (pointed hill) between the villages of Aarschot and Diest. When he tried to pick up the statuette he stopped as if petrified. He could not move. His worried master found him a few hours later, frozen in place, with the statuette in his hand. The master took it from the shepherd’s hands and placed it back in the tree. Only then could the man move again. Ever since then Scherpenheuvel has been an important pilgrimage site. Today, it is perhaps best known for its traditional annual walk, a walk of atonement during which the pilgrims travel on foot, beginning their journey in Antwerp. Some 35 miles long, it is often called "The Great Trek."
